1. Service - wait staff are very attentive. You deal with them from beginning to end. When you come in, wait to be seated, order and pay at the table. 2. Price - prices vary depending on what you may order. You can order individual style or family style. It can range between $15-20 per dish. 3. Ambiance - this restaurant can roughly sit 100 customers. Yellow walls with traditional Vietnamese farming hats hung all over the wall. It's a bit rustic in atmosphere. Dining area is dimly lit, but with natural light from the front. You feel as if you're in a 3rd world country, but it's the vibe they are creating. Dress code is casual. 4. Food - I would like to recommend their CANTONESE SWEET & SOUR PORK, HOUSE SPECIAL RICE CAKE, and their DICE BEEF WITH SCALLIONS. I'm not sure if you've been to their original location In Chinatown. But they are related to TAN TAN the restaurant. Same owners. The food is actually pretty similar, and it really hit the spot whenever you want Cantonese and Vietnamese fusion dishes. 5. Cleanliness - dining area seems clean, restrooms are well kept. There is a communal wash area. Restrooms are unisex. You can go to any of the two individual stalls. SUMMARY: Not bad for my first experience here, I will definitely come back to try other dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. read more

I recently stopped by Tan Tan Wok, and it continues to be one of our go-to spots for Chinese food in the Asiatown area. It's especially convenient for anyone living in Katy and looking for a solid, reliable place to dine. My wife absolutely loves their house special rice cake--it's a must-order appetizer for us every time we visit. For this meal, we went all out (as we usually do) and ordered a variety of dishes: General Tso's chicken, orange beef, shrimp with candied walnuts, beef and chicken flat noodles, and a side of spicy green beans. We always end up ordering a bit more than we need, but that's part of the experience--everything tastes great, and the leftovers easily turn into additional meals later in the day. Tan Tan Wok consistently hits the spot with flavorful dishes and satisfying portions. It's a place we genuinely look forward to coming back to. On average, we spend around $85-$90 including tip, which is well worth it considering the amount of food and leftovers you get. Highly recommend if you're craving quality Chinese food and enough to feed family of 4 with plenty of leftovers. read more

Tan Tan Wok - House special rice cake - Chinese Near Me - Katy, Texas

Ooof! It was a sad weekend dinner at Tan Tan. I will begin by saying I've eaten at 6 Katy Asiatown restaurants so far and been disappointed with all of them but wasn't expecting Tan Tan to fail. Of course we started with tried and true Banh Bot Chien which was our first disappointment. It was super oily and the Banh wasn't cooked through to be a little crispy or browned like original Tan Tan in Chinatown. We also ordered Canh Chua Ca.... It looked tasty and with all the right ingredients but the taste?! sugar!!! It was so sweet and most likely had canned pineapple and honestly it tasted like they poured the syrup inside . Our 3rd dish was the eggplant with garlic sauce. The minute the waiter put the fish down, we looked at each other because it was an oil slick. The flavor was on point except all the oil. The fourth dish was flat noodles with "beef and broccoli". I put quotations because that's what I ordered but we got no broccoli but instead got combo: beef, chicken and shrimp. We didn't complain, we just kept it. This dish was lacking flavor. The chicken was bone dry and the shrimp had that "frozen shrimp smell". The beef was the only thing edible on that dish, but barely. One of our kids wanted hot and sour soup which came in one size. Again when this came out, a thick layer of oil sat on the top.... I've never seen this before at any restaurant, even Chinese buffets. I scooped out as much of the oil off the top to let her eat it. Disappointment, yet again. There was no hot or sour taste. It tasted like oily chicken broth with extra stuff in it. On top of that, they had the same dry chicken that they used in the flat noodles. It was just one big disappointment after another. I couldn't believe it. I love Tan Tan in Bellaire but will never come to this location again. Not sure why all these Asiatown restaurants have the flavors off. Perhaps they are trying to appeal to the majority non Asian customers by using different ingredients? Or maybe they think people won't notice? I don't know but I hope the manager will do kitchen /good taste checks asap and get it back on track and back to tradition. read more

Since I recently moved to Houston, this place has quickly become my favorite restaurant. I go there very often with my family because the food is absolutely delicious and the menu has a lot of variety. As someone who is a big fan of Asian food and culture, I really enjoy the atmosphere and the overall vibe of the restaurant. The environment is calm and welcoming, and the staff always treats us so well -- they are very attentive and friendly every time we visit. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Houston! read more

*** Honey Walnut Shrimp What you've ordered is what you get. I think the portions were very good and reasonable. Flavor-wise, this is very standard. The Mayo cream is done well and smooth. The shrimp is not overcooked. For a to go order, the restaurant gave us an INCREDIBLY GENEROUS serving of rice that comes with it. ( this alone was enough for me to bump this up to a five star for their level of generosity). The staff is very quick and friendly. They are very prompt with handling there to go orders within the promised time frame. We didn't sit down to eat but the seating area was very spacious and very oriental notes and colors. It's a cute place! read more

The Bánh bột chiên (fried rice flour cake with egg) was as good as I remembered. I have to say, Tan Tan has always made it the best and continue to do so. The rice flour cakes are crispy on the outside with a soft bite on the inside. I love the vinegary soy sauce with pickled jalapeños slices. I can eat this as my main dish and be satisfied. The other dishes we ordered were good too, such as the fried rice and fried noodles. One of the elderly in our group did not enjoy the Bún Bò Huế. It was disappointing actually, because she rarely tries new places so this was a let down. The Bún Bò Huế here strays away from traditional, as it does not include familiar ingredients such as pig feet, but instead puts raw strips of beef in (to allow the soup to cook, similar to pho). She didn't enjoy it. What made it worse was that her soup spoon had dried remains of the previous meal on it. The server did not acknowledge the lack of cleanliness and just replaced it as if it was typical. Overall, I still recommend this place but not for the Bún Bò Huế. read more

I would not recommend anyone visit. The restaurant was empty save for another occupied table, and after we were seated, our waiter silently loomed beside us, surveilling. The manager did the same, but to a more extreme degree, circling our table and stopping at nearby points to stare, watching us like a hawk prey. I could not stay for any longer than ten minutes in that environment. It was chilling, and extremely uncomfortable. read more

I came here as a halfway point for me and my friends. What brought me here was the ratings and pictures of the food. The main reason I really wanted to try this place is because I love crispy noodles and I can only find that at the casino in Lake Charles. Surprisingly this place had it and it absolutely did not disappoint. It was such a large portion for a little cost. I ate on it twice. Everyone enjoyed their food - large portions - three of us ordered food for about 50 bucks not bad at all and I can't wait to go back. I did notice there was a lot of to go orders so obviously this place is the spot. The inside was kind of empty, but I almost can understand why the staff is a little unusual. They rush you. From the moment we got in there it was only like two other people eating and they were honestly acting like vultures. We had three different people come within seconds of each other, asking if we were ready to order we were trying to catch up with each other because it was a friend meet and we just felt so rushed and out of place. They were very inpatient and stood by us the entire time as if we were going to dine and dash or something. Luckily the food was that good and inexpensive, it excused the behavior of the staff. I'm almost wondering if it was a culture thing to rush us out of there. The place was very clean even the restrooms. The restaurant was connected to the one next door and that one was very packed. read more

I am a huge fan of the Tan Tan in Chinatown so I definitely had high expectations for this restaurant. Upon walking into Tan Tan Wok, the staff led us to the adjoining restaurant called Jia Kitchen. I asked our server if we would be served food from Tan Tan, and he said that it was the same thing. Kind of confusing. The restaurant is quite large and there was a large painted mural on the wall which was pleasant to look at. Our server was nice and we had many different attendants throughout the meal that were constantly refilling water and clearing the table. The house special rice cake was good, but I could definitely tell that it was different than the original from Tan Tan in Chinatown. The flat rice noodles caused confusion because there are two different menu items: one is the Tossed flat rice noodle and the other is the Stir fried flat rice noodle. If you want the noodle with a lot of sauce on top of white noodles, order the stir fried noodle. If you want the dry noodle that is all stir fried together, get the Tossed flat rice noodle. I am used to the Bellaire location asking if I want the wet or dry version; I had no idea there would be essentially the same sounding dish listed on the menu twice. The salt toasted tofu was delectable, and had the perfect seasoning and texture. The salt toasted squid was a little off, and the batter was a too little thick and too crunchy. My diagnosis: unfortunately this did not live up to the Tan Tan in Chinatown. read more

My dad and uncle came back with one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes for an afternoon snack. They stopped by Tan Tan Wok in Katy to pick up some bánh bột chiên, their house special rice cakes. A staple from their original location in bellaire, these are eggs and rice cakes cooked together with a bunch of grilled onions and pork fat. They also provide their house made soy sauce, chili sauce, and some minced garlic to top it off, making the perfect savory snack. The eggs are perfectly cooked and the rice cakes are crispy but have such a fluffy interior. They soak up the sauce so well. I could eat these all day. read more

Tan Tan Wok - House Special Rice Cake - Chinese Near Me - Katy, Texas

The fried rice and fried turnip cakes are good but their noodle soups were not it. I think Tan Tan Wok is part of the Tan Tan Bellaire family. Tan Tan has been part of Bellaire Chinatown for as long as I can remember. Their egg noodles, fried turnip cakes, chow mein, and fried shrimp cakes were staples growing up. When I saw Tan Tan Wok in Katy Asia Town, I was pretty excited. The fried rice was standard but good. The turnip cakes were crispy on the outside and comes with their signature vinegar dipping sauce. I also ordered bum bo hue and the beef noodle dish. Neither had the taste of what the dish is supposed to be. The bun bobhue was a little sweet, had no kick, and just didn't taste like bun bo hue. Same for the beef noodles. It was okay but something was off. Maybe I am reminiscing about the old days of Tan Tan but regardless, the soup dishes were just not great. read more

A friend highly recommended this spot, and even though I live nearby, I never checked it out until recently for a grad dinner lol! Their menu is endless! Every dish we ordered was spectacular! We got the fried rice, flat noodles, steamed and fried eggplant, mapo tofu, and the walnut shrimp. The beef flat noodles were one of my favs. It had a nice charred flavor. Only comment is that the beef was dry and tough. The fried eggplant was amazinggg. I've only eaten eggplant steamed so the crispiness of the fried eggplant was the best, and it was seasoned well. The mapo tofu flavor wasn't too intense (regarding the numbing sensation). It was a warm and hearty dish. The walnut shrimp was the star of the show - crispy and sweet (loved the candied walnuts). There was plenty of seating! Service was quick!! Since the restaurant is located in the heart of Katy Asian town, parking can be a bit challenging. read more

I didn't go in, I ordered through Uber Eats and I was not disappointed. I ordered the wonton soup with egg noodles and the honey walnut shrimp which comes on a bed of shredded cabbage with pickled carrot and daikon and both were outstanding! The egg noodles in the soup tasted homemade and the fried pork fat added a unique and homemade flavor as well. The honey walnut shrimp were tender jumbo prawns, not these tiny, little, over cooked shrimp you usually get at other places. The bed of cabbage and veggies were very fresh - which was welcoming, and there was plenty of sauce. They also came with plenty of white rice - though I didn't need it. They were absolutely delicious and I am excited to order from them in the future. So far the best Asian restaurant I've found! read more

Note - I believe they share or have dual kitchens with JIA Kitchen, nonetheless, food is absolutely amazing. Get the house special rice cake. Get two. The walnut shrimp was perfectly fried and caked in the mayo based sauce. The sleeper was the caramelized catfish in the clay pot. Beware its bone in. Still the fish with the sauce over rice is delectable. read more

Tan Tan Wok is probably the best spot for family style Chinese/Vietnamese food in Katy Asia Town. The service is quick and the ambiance is casual. We ordered their spicy garlic chicken, eggplant w/ basil, stir fried beef flat rice noodles, house special rice cake, and white rice of course. Everything came out piping hot with that smoky wok flavor from how hot their burners get, some call it "breath of the dragon." Our favorites are definitely the house special rice cake and eggplant w/ basil though for sure, these are MUST order dishes. While Tan Tan Wok is the same owners as Tan Tan in Bellaire, something about this place just isn't as good as the original Tan Tan location. It definitely still itches the craving if you're wanting pretty high quality Chinese/Vietnamese food. But also just be aware that the prices here are slightly more than the Bellaire location as well. Luckily, the portions are big so come hungry and with a big group for sure. Enjoy! read more

Tan Tan Wok comes from the roots of the popular late night eatery in chinatown bellaire, Tan Tan. I remember the post clubbing nights and drunken eats at 2:00 am at this place. So Tan Tan Wok in KAT seems to be a good logical choice to rehash some of those memories. I've always felt that the Vietnamese/Chinese served here leaned more towards chinese food styles with 80/20 lean. There are quite a few differences here as this was more of a sit down "family style" oriented place compared to the fast casual place of Tan Tan in Chinatown. Unfortunately, the flavors just doesn't quite add up to my liking. Their special fried rice while having good flavor, is missing the "wok hei" aspect of this. We also got their salt and pepper squid, which was my favorite of the night. It had a very crunchy outside, tender squid and adequate amounts of garlic, chili bits. We got their bo luc lac, which was all sorts of out of place. The beef was NOT tender which tends to lend itself as overcooked. Bánh bột chiên was pretty decent but nothing special about it here. Their flat noodle with beef is fine, but not as good as chinese versions where wok hei is king. While just OK, Tan Tan Wok does a C+ job at "Vietnamizing" some chinese staples. I'll eat it, but would rather go to an authentic place in chinatown that does it way better. C+: Good for a casual dinner, I'll give it that. Fast service! A+ read more

Came here for a quick lunch and it did not disappoint! I shared a banh bot chien (house special rice cake) and the stir fried seafood with crispy noodle. Both dishes were a hit. The banh bot chiến included the perfect egg to rice cake ratio and the rice cakes were light and crisp with a bounce on the inside. I love the picked radish that is added to the fried egg mixture - adds a nice crunch and saltiness. This is served with a soy sauce vinaigrette on the side - I like to add some sriracha for a lil kick. The stir fried seafood with crispy noodle was perfectly seasoned and crisp. The thin egg noodles were fried to a light crisp and add the saucey stir fry on top to soften the noodles a bit and the perfect noodle texture is created! read more

Great place to get Chinese food, they have a very large menu with different Vietnamese and Chinese foods. The decor is nice and they have good service. First stop was the ma po tofu, was very good as I enjoyed the spice, the sauce, the tofu. Next was the crispy flat noodles, which was the highlight of the meal, the noodles were crispy to perfection with the nice gravy sauce to go with it, but seafood was great, wish there was squid. Last was the sizzling beef with black pepper, which unfortunately was the worst beef and black pepper had, the beef was very chewy, poor quality, and cut meat, I cannot finish this entrée if I tried. Overall great place for Chinese food highly recommend their flat noodles and their tofu and perhaps seafood too, but not the beef. read more

Found this on Yelp! While visiting family in Houston. It was very busy on a Saturday evening. Parking was challenging in this whole shopping strip but we lucked out and got one right up front. E eeything we ordered was great. This placed had the largest walnut honey shrimp I've ever seen. Very tasty. We then scheduled a weekend day dinner with friends, total of 14 people. They did a great job preparing our meal able to accommodate as we added 2 more than expected. We were having g such a great time visiting, I didn't take any pictures. Loved the service and food!

Solid 4 stars all around. This place is very similar to the Tan Tan off Bellaire, maybe lacking in flavor by just 1% compared to the OG location. I ordered the following: - House Special Rice Cake (A1): spectacular as one would expect. It came out piping hot. - Bo Luc Lac (Diced Beef with Scallions): super tender but lacked a little salt. Would have been nice to have more than 1 lime to mix with the salt and pepper for the whole dish. - Tossed Fried Flat Noodle with Beef and Chinese Broccoli: make sure to ask for the "dry one"; otherwise you'll get the one lathered in sauce. This dish was awesome, and adding legit Sriracha elevates the flavor. Prices have definitely gone up so it's not a cheap Chinese/Vietnamese meal. It cost $50 before tax and tip for a meal for 2 (granted we had some leftovers). They were a bit stingy on the to-go containers too. Ambiance was nice; plenty of space. It would be nice if they had more than 1 toilet stall in the men's restroom for a restaurant this big. Service was OK. Nothing special. I got the sense they wanted us in and out quickly, but I feel like that's common these days. And sorry, no photos. I was super hungry and forgot to snap them for this review. The food also came out very quickly and all at once. read more

Then the vegetable (soft) spring rolls came out. They were also really good and the sauce they were pair with was delicious. We had a minor hiccup in our order. Only 2 of our entres came out because our order was taken incorrectly. Once that was fixed and I got my Pho it was just as expected. Hot and yummy!
